Core

The module best.core contains several C++/C and Fortran libraries that are interfaced via Python. We provide a brief description of this functionality here. The functions in best.core are used internally by the rest of the modules in best.

best.core._lhs()

Latin hyper-cube sampling.

This is an interface to John Burkardt’s latin_center written in C++.

You should probably use the high-level class best.random.LatinHyperCubeDesign.

best.core._ggsvd(jobU, jobV, jobQ, kl, A, B, alpha, beta, U, V, Q, work, iwork)

An interface to the LAPACK Fortan routine dggsvd which performs a Generalized Singular Value Decomposition .

You should probably use the high-level class best.linalg.GeneralizedSVD.

best.core._pstrf(uplo, A, P, tol, work)

An interface to the LAPACK Fortran routine ?pstrf which performs an Cholesky factorization with complete pivoting of a real symmetric positive semidefinite matrix A.

You should probably use the high-level class best.linalg.IncompleteCholesky.
